For the first time in a long time, PS4 takes the top four games this week. Down week overall for hardware, except Xbox Series which is on track to pass Xbox One lifetime sales as early as this month.

Expect a big rebound in hardware next week with the release of the OLED Switch!

Switch keeps dropping and dropping. When is the OLED happening again?

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

10 years greatest game event!

Tomorrow, so it will be reflected in next week's hardware sales.

Will be interesting to see if that reverts the losses of the past weeks.

EDIT: I am hyped to see next weeks results then.

The final bad week for Switch. Impressive performance by the PS4 placing 4 titles at the top but meanwhile pretty big drop for PS5 which does down to 12.8k hardware units.



Signature goes here!

100K for Xbox next week. It's clear in will outsell the XBONE (in a impressively short amount of time), now to see if it can compare to the original Xbox or the 360 in Japanese sales.

Please Watch/Share this video so it gets shown in Hollywood.

Good to see Xbox doing decent in Japan, hope it continues. Will be interesting to see what OLED does for Switch numbers next week, these past few weeks been meh AF

As expected the franchise is going to struggle to reach 75K this year, so over 25% decline YoY since they launched  Hajimari no Kiseki last year which debuted with 83K and managed over 104K lifetime sales. I don't think Kuro no Kiseki will be above 10K next week as the second weeks of Falcom games are usually over 80% drops.
